— A Legacy of Hope Supporter
There are many ways to create your legacy, each with unique benefits for you and for the future patients and survivors you will support. Explore the options below to find the path that's right for you.
Including United Breast Cancer Foundation in your will or living trust is a powerful and straightforward way to leave a gift. It costs you nothing today but ensures your values of compassion and support will continue.
"I give and bequeath [the sum of $, a percentage of my estate, or a specific asset] to United Breast Cancer Foundation, 223 Wall Street Suite 368, Huntington, NY 11743, EIN: 11-3571208, to be used exclusively for its Individual Grant Program."
You can name United Breast Cancer Foundation as a full, partial, or contingent beneficiary of assets like retirement plans (401(k), IRA), life insurance policies, and bank or investment accounts. This is often as simple as filling out a form and is a tax-smart way to give, as UBCF receives the gift tax-free.
Simply contact your plan administrator or financial institution to request a "Change of Beneficiary" form. You can designate United Breast Cancer Foundation to receive any percentage you choose.
With a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) or Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT), you can make a significant gift to UBCF while securing a reliable income stream for yourself or a loved one. A key benefit is the potential for an immediate partial income tax deduction in the year you make the gift.
This type of gift is often a wonderful option for individuals age 65+ who would like to make a substantial gift, receive a significant and immediate tax deduction, and enjoy stable income payments for life or a set term.
Donating assets like appreciated stock, real estate, or other property can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. You can potentially avoid capital gains tax while receiving a deduction for the full fair market value of the asset.
This strategy allows you to make a larger gift at a lower net cost to you. Contact us for instructions on how to transfer securities or discuss a gift of property.
A planned gift is a profound way to honor the memory of a loved one or celebrate a survivor. Your tribute will become a lasting legacy of their journey, providing a lifeline to others who walk the same path. When you make your gift, you will have the opportunity to designate it in their name, ensuring their story of courage and resilience is never forgotten.
